The first time I head the term “zero x upgrade” was while doing the AutoCAD for Mac interview . At that time I knew that the term was going to create confusion. Autodesk defines a zero x upgrade as an “upgrade without changing the release”, which is an oxymoron. Personally, I don’t like the term. It gives you the impression that you are paying money for nothing new. And now Autodesk has started using the term “upgrade” to signify a move from AutoCAD 2011 for Windows to AutoCAD 2011 for Mac.
